== Short Description ==
Find where code lives in WordPress. Search functions, hooks, shortcodes and strings across themes and plugins.


== Description ==

**Source Lens – Code Finder** is the ultimate code search tool for WordPress. It helps developers and site owners locate where any code lives in their WordPress installation – whether it's in theme files, plugin files, the database, or even dynamically injected by other plugins.

= Two Powerful Search Modes =

**1. Find Code/Strings** – Search for any text, function, hook, shortcode, or code snippet inside files. Perfect for finding where a specific piece of code is used.

**2. Find File by Name** – Search for files by their name (e.g., `header.php`, `functions.php`, `style.css`) and view their full source code instantly.

= Key Features =

* **Search Everywhere** – Search across themes, plugins, WordPress core, and the database
* **View Full Source Code** – Find any file by name and view its complete source code
* **Find Dynamically Injected Code** – Detects code added by other plugins (like Google Tag Manager scripts from code snippet plugins)
* **Multiple Search Types** – Auto-detect, text string, function, hook, shortcode, class, regex, constant, CSS, and HTML
* **Page Builder Support** – Search inside Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, and Gutenberg blocks
* **WooCommerce Support** – Search products, orders, settings, and WooCommerce-specific data
* **Code Snippets Detection** – Finds code stored in popular snippet plugins (WPCode, Code Snippets, Insert Headers and Footers, etc.)
* **Safe & Read-Only** – Never modifies any files on your server

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `source-lens-code-finder` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the "Plugins" menu in WordPress.
3. Navigate to **Tools → Source Lens – Code Finder** to start searching.
